“...you are part of an infinite energy and by doing you are gaining, not losing. By giving you are attaining, not losing.

Live as the ocean. Be oceanic! Never think of losing, about anything. Nothing is lost, nothing can be lost. And you are not an individual; you only appear as an individual. The whole is joined to you; you are just a face of the whole, just a way the whole has happened.

Enjoy, celebrate, be active, and always be a giver. To be a giver so totally that you never think of retaining or holding anything is the only real prayer.
To give is to pray. To give is to love.

And those who can give, they are always given more.”
― Osho, My Way: The Way of the White Clouds
